Hi all
My eye test is due at Specsavers it’s free if your diabetic, thing is I’m no longer on any diabetic medication.
However still have had a glucoma eye screening test done last month and have my blood sugar checked annually.
I asked my doctors if I’m still eligible for a free eye test receptionist said it still state diabetes on my notes.
I still have an NHS exemption certificate for free prescriptions, valid for another two years even though I don’t take medication anymore, I thought there was a diabetes register of patients who are eligible.
Don’t want to get into trouble for claiming a free eye test that I’m not entitled to
